Bob, the ARS is a notched collar at the top of the shock. It has 3 different length clearances. You would use the one with the most for you. When adding a passenger, either the middle or least clearance. It acts like a overload spring. This way you don't have to mess with the preload you have set

Hey Thomas, How do you know you don't have a float problem? I'm assuming you don't have a big puddle of gas on the floor, so that rules out loose hose fittings or leaky hose. Have you pulled off the hoses to check if the pump's putting out any pressure/volume? It might be a bad pressure switch
